AIt is a popular Internet thing to focus on the upside of being in your 30s, and it is nice to know how to do basic modern-human-being things like paying your taxes and cooking a simple meal . But it can be a less-encouraging story at work: People in their late 20s to early 40 s tend to report lower levels of job satisfaction and higher leve ls of emotional exhaustion than other age groups, according t o new research.There’s an obvious reason: These tend to be the ages when people have young children at home, and the researchers di d find that this group reported feeling increasingly crunched fo r time. But adding to that pressure, coworker support also ten ds to decline at this age. Some researchers interpret the findi ngs:Support from co-workers probably decreases in midlife as peers compete for li mited resources(promotion bottlenecks are often encountered during this car eer stage. Also, whereas younger co-workers are often hungry to make up new social networks, an d older workers seek identity-affirming work experiences in their remaining tenure(任期), mid lifers find it demanding enough just to maintain exist ing social networks. Meanwhile, time pressure likely increases as colleagues are all trying to enrich their own knowledge an d experience.But the good news is that after about a decade of struggle, things start to pick back up again. Occupational psychologists say that happiness at work recovers when people reach their 40s, and that people in their 50s are more satisfied with their j obs than any other age group. Hang in there, 30-somethings-soon you will be older, but at least work will meet less frustration(挫折)!1. What can we learn about people in their 30s according to the text?A. They tend to feel less emotionally exhaustedB. They ar e more satisfied with their work.C. They may feel more pressured at work.D. They don’t kn ow how to do basic modern-human-being things.2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “cru nched” in Paragraph 2?A. pressedB. encouragedC. relaxedD. sa tisfied3. Why do people in their late 20s to early 40s have less supp ort from co-workers?A. Because they have a family to support.B. Because the y are eager to form new social networks.C. Because they try to seek identity-affirming work experiences.D. Because they are faced with strong competition in promot ion.BFour years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers coul d simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those qu estions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea o f "just walk out shopping".Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world's most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our "just walk out shop ping" experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no check out.Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learnin g. Our “ just walk out technology ” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When you have done shoppi ng, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we'll charge yo ur Amazon account and send you a receipt.We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh ev ery day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of food stuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and lo cally made chocolates. You' ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we're excited to intro duce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for tw o in about 30 minutes.Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact, so busy custom ers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seat tle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smart phone, a nd the free Amazon Go app.Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in o ur testing program, and will be open to the public soon.4. From the passage, we can learn that Amazon Go ________.A. is a checkout-free store B. sells all kinds of goodsC. is open to the publicD. uses unknown tech nologies5. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?A. When Amazon Go charges.B. What Amazon Go s ells.C. Where Amazon Go lies.D. How Amazon Go wor ks.6. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. encourage people to shop onlineB. advise people to work for AmazonC. inform people of a new concept storeD. tell people of th e shopping experienceC“Clothes Swapping”has become an increasingly popular activi ty for women in the United States. The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return.Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high s chool in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing-swapping group.Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For anyone who k nows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really nice women’s d esigner and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not totally bankrupt myself.”Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new h omes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. There’s no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what’s already here. G ive it a new home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a money-raising activity for the high school’s debate team. It is one of s everal ways that her group gives to charitable causes. Anothe r is by donating all of the“un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it fo r four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a s wap.”She used the social media website to help public ize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 3 0 members to 1,300. Mrs.Pratt says most of the members res pect the clothing swap rules. But she say competition for desir able fashion can be strong.“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it beco mes like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”7. At a clothes swap what can women do?A. Make some money by giving away unwanted clothingB. Buy whatever clothing they likeC. Have a social gatherin g and make friendsD. Exchange unwanted clothing for something different8. What can be learnt from what Daphne Steinberg said?A. The clothes swap was the largest ever in the areaB. She got some nice clothes at the clothes swapC. It was the first time she had been to a clothes swapD. She saved much more money than she had expected9. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causesB. How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event. C. What Kim Pratt did to help people in nee d.D. What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Clothes swaps often go out of control in the endB. Clothes-swapping is becoming increasingly popular with womenC. Improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlledD. More clothing swapping events need to be organized第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA survey revealed the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. Actually, I am one of them.Child-rearing(养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the name s of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every da y. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our t eachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could g et us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our ba by food.The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 second s.Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always ri ght. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers onl y know best 99.99 per cent of the time. Here are some famou s slip-ups.The mother of Bill Gates: “If you’re going to drop out of colleg e and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless. ” The mother of Albert E instein: “When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around think ing about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocerybills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like yo ur dad, who became President of the United States and started his own wa r.”1. The tone for the writer to write the passage is __________ .A. cruelB. disapprovingC. humorousD. criti cal2. In Paragraph 2 the writer makes a comparison between mo thers and fathers to prove that __________ .A. females love kids more than malesB. males are not good at child-rearingC. child-rearing is difficult both for females and malesD. my dad is not interested in child-rearing3. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Stories.B. Shortcomings.C. Disadvantages.D. Mistakes.4. The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________ .A. providing different examplesB. following the order of spaceC. making comparisonsD. analyzing cau sesB.There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. Yo u can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic y ou can imagine. And at , you can access lecture s by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together indi viduals from the fields of technology, entertainment and desig n. It was intended to be a onetime event focusing on technolo gy and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worke d, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual e vent.There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spinoff confer ences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conference s with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world's mos t inspired thinkers”, as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The tal ks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a nonp rofit organization devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling Foundation acquired TED in 2001.Since then, i t has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that mig ht change the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitis t(杰出人物的鼓吹者) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars in total).It's been accused by a few people of censorship(审核机构) for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afte rward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, longrunning organization. And accusations of elitism ri ng hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's web site. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational info rmation for those who seek it out.5.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The TED conference came after the success of www.ted.c om.B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.C.TED talks are available in many languages.D.The Sapling Foundation owns .6.From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that________.A.it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might no t be publishedB.the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive r ole to the speakersC.TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealth y or powerfulD.the negative comments on TED greatly affect its reputatio n7.This author probably believes that________.A.TED is elitist B.TED is beneficialC.TED isn't importantD.the TED website is the bestC.I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused t o use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and thin k I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on th e roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, mot orists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Ap art from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occ ur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I ha d to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again . When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologi zing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was t here and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blin d by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it dre w away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride an d ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; i t seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did . But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for ha lf an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.8. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought______ ___.A. she might be recognisedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing9. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something10. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stopa bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.11. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping___ _______.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereD.Why You Should Celebrate Your MistakesWhen you make a mistake, big or small, cherish(珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselve s up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a y oung age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid m istakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes at hom e, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough ti mes to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reac tion.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrate d for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error-trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mista kes-we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the cei ling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, m ake speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we don't just consume informati on about something and instantly know it or know how to do it . You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer pr ogramming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about somet hing, from reading or from another person or from observing u sually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you tes t it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes... then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something. That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, an d how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do so mething new, because if you succeed in something, it's proba bly something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journe y. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it's a good j ourney.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things tha t make a world of brilliance possible.12. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because it's a natural part in our life.C. Because we've been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.13. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mist akes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscio us reaction.14. The underlined word "toddler" in Paragraph 6 probably me ans __________.A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary school pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write15. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away 第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Philli p was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of France.When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lov ely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The swee t music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. No ticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French win e.The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the ta ble. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching o ther people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitti ng at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that oneof them was an American, one an Englishman and the third m an was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three m en a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were g oing to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them too k a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, n oticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger no ticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank i t up.21. Mr. Phillip went into the restaurant to _____.A. have something to eat after the walkB. wait for a friend the reC. meet his three friends thereD. enjoy the pleasant music22. What can we infer about the restaurant where Mr. Phillip h ad a drink?A. It must be a first-class one B. It must be expensive and comfortableC. It must be a rather dirty placeD.

What do we know about the three customers at the table, _____.A. the stranger drank the most from the glassB. the Englishman wasted half of his beerC. the stranger was the cleverestD. the American liked the beer bestBOne day a few years ago a very funny thing happened to a ne ighbor of mine. He is a teacher at one of London’s big medical schools, He had finished his teaching for the summer term an d was at the airport on his way to Russia to give a lecture.He had put a few clothes and his lecture notes in his shoulder bag, but he had put Rupert, the skeleton (人体骨骼) to be used in his lecture, in a large brown suitcase (箱子). At the airport desk, he suddenly thought that he had forgo tten to buy a newspaper. He left his suitcase near the desk an d went over to the shop.When he got back he discovered that someone had taken his suitcase by mistake. He often wonders what they said when they got home and found Rupert.24. Who wrote the story?A. Rupert’s teacher.B. The neighbor’s teacher.C. A medical school teacher.D. The teacher’s neighbor.25. Why did the teacher put a skeleton in his suitcase?A. He needed it for the summer term in London.B. He needed it for the lecture he was going to give.C. He wanted to take it to Russia for medical research.D. He wanted to take it home as he had finished his teaching.26. What happened at the airport?A. The skeleton went missing.B. The skeleton was stolen.C. The teacher forgot his suitcase.D. The teacher took the wrong suitcase.27. Which of the following best tells the teacher’s feeling abou t the incident?A. He is very angry.B. He thinks it rather funny.C. He feels helpless without Rupert.D. He feels good without Rupert.CSixteen years ago I learned this lesson. And I learned it in theback of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened.I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We w ere driving in the right lane (车道) when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes (车闸), the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch (英寸) from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. I couldn’t believe it!And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call: “The L aw of the Garbage Truck (垃圾车).” He said: But then here’s what really blew me away. My t axi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said: “Why d id you just do that? This guy could have killed us!“Many peopl e are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As thei r garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (倾倒) it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.“So one day when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me.You’ll be happier.”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run ri ght over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spre ad it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said: “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carr ying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I d on’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.28. What happened to the author on his way to Grand Centra l Station?A. He was caught in a traffic jam.B. He had a fight with his taxi driver.C. His taxi almost ran into another car.D. His taxi suddenly got a flat tire (爆胎).29.

The author used to complain a lot.31. How did the author learn to deal with Garbage Trucks?A. Fight back immediately.B. Smile and move on.C. Call the police for help.D. Dump it on someone elseDMore and more people are taking their iPads to bed with th em to surf the web, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warni ng that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getti ng a good night’s sleep. That is because this type of light is si milar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Bl ue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called mel atonin, which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, p erhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day ends.Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep--- they are television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by natu re portable --- not to say addictive --- more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also t end to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer o r television screen.Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels a s the devices give off blue light. They say, “Turning off the dev ices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation(刺激,激怒) of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before b ed.”They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics(应用人类工程学) that iPad makers should adjust the spectral power distribu tion(光谱功率分布) of the devices so that they affect the sleep patterns of use rs less.It is not just a good night’s sleep that could be harmed by t oo much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-term harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of o besity and even cancers.32. Why does Blue light prevent iPad users from sleeping well ? .A. Because it can help decrease the production of melatoninB. Because it is the same as daylight which keeps people aw akeC. Because it makes the brain more activeD. Because it is brighter than light that is more orange or red33. What does the underlined phrase “dim the display” mean? .A. turn off the displayB. keep away from the displayC. make the display less brightD. clean the display carefully34. In the last paragraph, the author intends to ________ .A. show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too muchB. warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleepC. call on researchers to study sleep patternsD. show the danger of obesity and cancers35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Looking at screens of iPads increase chances of sleepless ness.B. Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our health.C. People should limit the use of electronic devicesD. Using iPads before bed can cause a poor night’s sleep.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined”it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I d on’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.5. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCImagine you got paid to do shopping, and could keep the things you bought with other people's money. Does this sound like a dream? Well, for some, like Amy Knott, from Chicago, this is their job.Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank, stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank, or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer, but afterwards she writes a report about her experience, commenting on things like:How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " T hank you.”?Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory, an eye for detail, and good writing skills. When you apply for the job, instead of an interview, you will be asked to write about something like "What was your best shopping experience?"What is the pay like? For a 15-minute visit to a store, you might get $ 10 and the cost of what you buy. For a haircut, you might get $ 35 and the cost of the haircut. Most mystery shoppers do this job in their spare time, like Byron Jenner, who visits a restaurant on his lunch break every day and earns about $ 500 extra a month. But others, like Amy, make it their full-time career, and earn up to $ 40,000 a year. "I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example, tonight my husband and I will go out, have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”8. Amy Knott is paid to go shopping .A. to comment on some thingsB. to see whether the cashier says "Thank you."C. to see whether the restroom has soap and tissueD. to do a research for a company to improve its service9. Which of the following is NOT the qualification for a mystery shopper?A. A good memory.B. Passing an interview.C. Good writing skills.D. An eye for detail.10. As a mystery shopper, Amy Knott feels the job .A. a sad thingB. a surprising thingC. a tiresome mailerD. a great pleasure11. What does the underlined word "luxury" in the last paragraph mean?A. A condition of much noise.B. A condition of large size.C. A condition of great comfort.D. A condition of special cheapness.DTeaching can be one of the most satisfying jobs in the United States. Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call ‘teacher burnout’, a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2017 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California —Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defin es mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools.

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined”it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I d on’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.5. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCImagine you got paid to do shopping, and could keep the things you bought with other people's money. Does this sound like a dream? Well, for some, like Amy Knott, from Chicago, this is their job.Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank, stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank, or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer, but afterwards she writes a report about her experience, commenting on things like:How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " T hank you.”?Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory, an eye for detail, and good writing skills. When you apply for the job, instead of an interview, you will be asked to write about something like "What was your best shopping experience?"What is the pay like? For a 15-minute visit to a store, you might get $ 10 and the cost of what you buy. For a haircut, you might get $ 35 and the cost of the haircut. Most mystery shoppers do this job in their spare time, like Byron Jenner, who visits a restaurant on his lunch break every day and earns about $ 500 extra a month. But others, like Amy, make it their full-time career, and earn up to $ 40,000 a year. "I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example, tonight my husband and I will go out, have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”8. Amy Knott is paid to go shopping .A. to comment on some thingsB. to see whether the cashier says "Thank you."C. to see whether the restroom has soap and tissueD. to do a research for a company to improve its service9. Which of the following is NOT the qualification for a mystery shopper?A. A good memory.B. Passing an interview.C. Good writing skills.D. An eye for detail.10. As a mystery shopper, Amy Knott feels the job .A. a sad thingB. a surprising thingC. a tiresome mailerD. a great pleasure11. What does the underlined word "luxury" in the last paragraph mean?A. A condition of much noise.B. A condition of large size.C. A condition of great comfort.D. A condition of special cheapness.DTeaching can be one of the most satisfying jobs in the United States. Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call ‘teacher burnout’, a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2017 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California —Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defin es mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating —ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”12.
